Chapter 468 A tough opponent

Substituting players is like changing knives. It is true. When the Dortmund players surrounded Klopp and celebrated wildly after scoring the goal, the coach was also very excited.

At this moment, he had a feeling of regret that he should not have let Götze play for even a minute in this game. If he had played with the current starting lineup from the beginning of the game, would the goal have come a long time ago? But there is no if.

On the sidelines, when Dortmund players were celebrating wildly, Ferguson stood as steady as a rock. He quietly pointed to two players and signaled the team to make substitutions.

As the fourth official raised the card twice in a row, Scholes, one of the team's double defensive midfielders, was replaced by Cleverley. If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the last game of the veteran's career.

When the Hornets fans' carnival ended, the whole stadium burst into thunderous applause for Scholes who walked off the field.

"Another Manchester United legend has retired from the team. The Red Devils, who once dominated Europe, now have one less player left. Like their 70-year-old coach Ferguson, this season is like the afterglow of the Red Devils."

Zhan Jun opened his mouth slowly, and looked at Scholes who couldn't help but cover his face while walking. He felt a little sad in his heart. From the age of seventeen to thirty-nine, the Onion Head dedicated his entire career to Manchester United, which was a very great thing.

In addition to Scholes being substituted, another player who was substituted was the team's left forward Rooney. Ferguson's trusted disciple performed well in this game. If there was any flaw to be found, it would probably be that he was not as threatening as Qin Hu and Van Persie.

When Rooney left the field, the substitute was none other than Hernandez, the little pea who has completely established himself as a super substitute this season. This player had an outrageous scoring rate after coming on as a substitute in the second half. When he came on as a substitute, no one thought that Rooney's departure was a weakening of Manchester United.

In the last ten minutes of the game, instead of letting Rooney, whose energy had been greatly depleted by Schmelzer, continue to do some basic work, it would be better to let the Little Pea run on the court and maybe there would be a chance.

Unlike Ferguson, Klopp did not make any substitutions this time. Compared with Manchester United, the depth of Dortmund's bench is not that amazing. Replacing Gotze is already a big adjustment. At least Klopp should not make any substitutions before the end of regular time.

So, when the two teams stood on the field again, Manchester United had two new faces.

"The boss said, keep attacking! Ignore their goal."

After coming on the pitch, Hernandez conveyed Ferguson's instructions to the team's midfield and frontcourt, and the players naturally nodded to show that they understood.

In fact, even if Ferguson didn't say it, they would not relax their attack. The good situation of 1-0 has been ruined at this moment. Manchester United, who has been in the leading position for a long time in this game, does not want to enter overtime with the opponent.

"Shh!"

With the referee's whistle, the ball was kicked out by Qin Hu. In the continuous shooting attempts and cooperation in the next field, he and Van Persie had already understood the characteristics of the opponent's defense line. At this moment, the two superstars already had a feeling that the next shot would score.

“Okay, the ball came to Carrick’s feet. Manchester United’s state was not affected after losing the ball. Carrick got the ball and quickly got rid of Lewandowski who rushed up to press. He passed the ball to the right and sounded the horn for forward attack right after the kick-off!”

"Shu~"

The ball rolled rapidly on the court, and Gundogan, who had not had time to get in, turned around and rushed towards Van Persie. In this game, he and Sven Bender did a good job in defense, and they were able to fill in the positions in time many times to relieve the pressure on the back line.

However, this time it was a little different. When Gundogan rushed in front of Van Persie, the winger had no intention of moving forward and immediately kicked the ball diagonally. "Van Persie passed the ball directly, not to Qin Hu, but to the little pea who rushed in from the left! Hernandez ran to the position~"

The ball was instantly unloaded like a magnet. After the kick-off, Hernandez moved forward diagonally along the right side and got the ball directly on the left side of the top of the penalty area. Sven Bender was left behind by him.

"He dribbled the ball straight into the penalty area. Hummels and Schmelzer had to double-team him at the same time, while Qin Hu took Subotic away to the right."

As soon as the game resumed, Manchester United's attack reached Dortmund's penalty area, which made their fans quite excited. For a moment, the singing of the Red Devils fans rang out again in Wembley Stadium.

"Manchester United! Manchester United! Fight~~~!"

"Pass it! Hernandez sent the ball to the middle before the two defenders formed a double team. Qin Hu's position was a little forward, and his space to swing his legs was blocked by Subotic. Oh! Qin Hu didn't swing his legs. He chose to kick the ball directly with his heel. Beautiful, the ball was knocked out of the penalty area~"

"Oh!"

Qin Hu passed the ball to his teammates again. His clever knock allowed Carrick to face the ball in an extremely comfortable position. In an instant, Sven Bender was pulled to the left by him and the midfielder swung his leg for another long shot.

"Shoot, Carrick's long shot threatens the opponent's goal!"

"DUANG!"

It was a shot heading towards the left goal post. The ball was very tricky and tried to fly into the goal close to the inside of the left goal post. Weidenfeller jumped up to save the ball and had no time to adjust the position of his head. When his right hand knocked the ball out of the goal, his head hit the goal post hard.

"He saved it! Weidenfeller's performance in this game was really great. Wait, his head seemed to have hit the goalpost. It looked like it was quite heavy..."

For a moment, when Weidenfeller was lying on the ground with his hands covering his head and unable to get up, the referee had to suspend the game again and signal the team doctor to come in.

"Shit! This goalkeeper's save was too accurate."

Standing there with his hands on his hips, Carrick couldn't help but complain to Qin Hu who was walking towards him. He had made quite a few long shots in this game, and every time Weidenfeller was able to save the ball to his best, which was really difficult to deal with.

"Indeed, Robin, maybe we should try a shot from the penalty area."

Qin Hu nodded, he touched his chin with his right hand and looked at Van Persie who was also walking over. Although Carrick's long-range shots were always quite threatening, it was not a big deal that they were always saved. There was not much time left in the game, and they had to score a goal as soon as possible to avoid having to fight their opponents for overtime.

You have to know that the number of veterans in Manchester United is far more than that of the Hornets. Once it enters overtime, it is very likely that the young and strong will be counterattacked.
